Recent respective form guides

Sheffield United have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. While Blades have scored 8, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Millwall however, is much more impressive, remaining unbeaten in their last six, winning five and drawing the one. The The Lions have managed to tuck away 10 goals in this period, and concede just the 3.

Sheff. Utd. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Nationwide League Division One, picking up 52 points from their 33 games so far. Millwall's total of 53 points from their 33 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Nationwide League Division One.
